used in examinations by positron emission tomography (PET). The medicine FLT (F) Synektik is administered before the examination.
After administering a small amount of FLT (F) Synektik, the doctor will take pictures with a special device
(tomograph), on the basis of which they will assess the patient's condition and progress in treating the disease.
